For reasons I may never understand, a lot of people in 2018 America regard victimhood as a sort of currency. The worse off you claim to be, the higher your status. Every minute of every day is a competition to see who's the most oppressed. Who's the most offended. And when your entire identity centers around how badly you're being wronged, no slight is too slight. The better you're doing in life, the harder you have to work to stay #woke.
